100 Volunteers From Timberland Volunteer at Rail Park

Published October 16, 2017

More than 100 volunteers from Timberland visited the Rail Park on October 13 for a daylong service project. In partnership with the Center City District (CCD) and Center City District Foundation (CCDF), the volunteers assisted with the installation of approximately 25,000 square feet of landscaping.

CCD, which is overseeing fundraising and construction, has begun to install new landscaping and site furnishings and is on course to complete the project in early 2018

There is still time for you to contribute to the project, which has been supported by the State, the City and several major foundations and companies including Timberland. Click here to donate today.

The Center City District (CCD), Central Philadelphia Development Corporation (CPDC) and Center City District Foundation (CCDF) work together to enhance the vitality and competitiveness of Philadelphia's downtown. In 1991 the business leadership organization CPDC created the CCD business improvement district to deliver daily services with the goal of making Center City clean and safe. This helped transform Center City into a vibrant 24-hour downtown, attractive to businesses, residents, students, shoppers and tourists. In addition, the CCD is responsible for the management of Dilworth, Sister Cities, John F. Collins and Cret Parks, four extraordinary public spaces in the heart of Center City. CCDF, the charitable affiliate of the CCD, was launched in 2016 to support the next generation of public space improvements in Center City Philadelphia.
